After Sony executives said that there would undoubtedly be sequel to the reboot of Ghostbusters, the terrible numbers of the movie at the box office have ended that idea.

Ghostbusters has raised just 180 million dollars worldwide since its premiere on July 9, 2016. According to The Hollywood Reporter the film directed by Paul Feig will end in negative numbers, losing more than 70 million, so a sequel is extremely unlikely

Although the film is not yet released in countries such as France, Japan and Mexico, experts say it will have enough problems to reach 225 million and the study needs Ghostbusters to raise at least 300 million dollars just to recover the budget investment and marketing.

Although Sony has not commented on whether the plans of a sequel are forgotten forever or not, a representative has said that Sony works in an animated series for television entitled Ghostbusters: Ecto Force for 2018 and in a film also animation that could arrive in 2019.

The four actresses protagonists Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon seem to have contracts for two potential sequels and a possible video game, but for now everything is uncertain given the poor reception that the film has had when raising money.
